    ah goddamn. i don’t want to use the messenger app its so full of useless stuff. i always used the bare minimum of facebook, used to chat on mbasic.facebook.com, but they removed it as well. wish i could just not use it, i only ise the chat features, but too many ppl in my life just use it and would be a pain to convince them to use something else.

      This might be my final straw for getting rid completely. I’m not installing the normal messenger app
